Best Sorrows Poems

Oft Woe Is Sorrows, Of Mere Mortal Men

Of fine artist brush and true poet's pen
oft woe is sorrows, of mere mortal men.
Tho' great the powers, sun's glow in blue skies
majestic the beauty, in dawns bright rise.

What purpose poetry, if not to give?
What purpose existence, if...

Heart String Sorrows

Sadness pulls my heart strings
with a bow of rosin’d guilt,
tear drops stain the notes upon the page

Sorrowed cello whispers
of a soundless worry wilt,
harmonies distort beyond the stage

Out of tune concertos
midst excessive cymbals blare,
steady as the beat of gathered pain

Broken mirror rhythms
sit within the...

As I add another notch, 
Into my belt of failures.
I did not gain the joy of my heart.

And if I had gained,
Your honest…true love.
I wouldn’t contemplate 
Using that very belt
As a makeshift tourniquet,
Around my pleasant dreams. 

Choking the flow of my tomorrows,
To ease the bleak...

You melted my dreams,
Casted it on your expectations,
Slammed it on me,
To mesh with it with determination.
Draining myself for you,
Still heard what you have done?
Before I close my eyes every night,
I wonder,do you ever love?
You mock at my feelings,
That peep through my eyes,
It's of heartache you...

Lightning darkens the sky a little more
Thunder silences the rain as it pours

The lightning flickers, true face shown to you
Thunder nightmares, a part of the deal too

Wild wind whistles through the dripping wet leaves
Dry earth laps up cool rain in greedy heaves

Always cast skywards from...

Tomorrow is another day, a fresh start.
You manipulated your way and stole my heart!
       I try to focus on self, but I'm seriously failing.
You took my emotional wealth, and now my mind is sailing.

World of pleasure,world of pain;
Every things lost,nothings gained.
Hidden whispers,hidden lies;
Silent torment ,silent cries.
Heartless faces, heartless stares;
No one listens ,no one cares.
Scarred forever,broken-hearted;
Dearly beloved, dearly departed.
Broken promises,broken dreams;
Left alone, left unclean.
Live and let live,live and learn;
Once been bitten,twice you burn.
Tougher days,tougher tomorrows;
Counting costs, counting sorrows...

She's in the cut, with a different kind of fabric 
She earns minimum wage, but her Instagram is lavish 
Trust me I don't know how she keeps the balance 
Probably got a married man who injects cash in her balance 
That's why it's not a challenge
Until he gets tired...

I can hear myself snoring
then I suddenly wake!
It sounded maybe 
something like an earthquake.

Then I lay on my side
slip back into sleep
I hardly dream
it's so very deep.

Maybe I half wake
then comes a flash of dreams
all about death
but nothing is as it seems.

Someone long gone from...

Jesus, The Man-God of Sorrows

This King that was born in a stable
entering His created world in the humblest of means, 
had His angels proclaim His birth to mere shepherds
and not to princes, queens or kings.

He came not to rule the first time 
or cause men...

I just hate to say
How much I feel like a bad cliché.
That faithful girl that would love me forever
Went and left me for another.

Sometimes I’m so mad,
Then I’m feeling everything but glad.
Though she double-crossed me sweetly like a traitor,
Just can’t bring myself to hate her.

Have...

Maybe darling, you have fallen down  
or got lost, sweetheart on the way home  
to find our path, would you rather die alone without  
rather than be stuck on this earth to someone like me
An overwhelming deep sadness inside mixed with pain...

The sorrows that assail my heart
Heralding the free flow of forlorn tears
Tears unaccompanied by the usual cries
Tears of a heavy heart
That's what they are,
Tears borne out of heart over - weighed by sorrows
That's what they are,
Tears of uncontrollable emotions.

The sorrows of my heart sired by...

When sorrow overwhelms you,
And, pain is like the oldest friend,
Remember, when you’re down,
This isn’t where the battle will end.

When worries leave you fearful,
And, the clouds just won’t break,
Don’t forget – there in that sky,
Abides a peace that you can’t mistake.

When mourning seems everlasting,
And, grief prompts...

along came a flood of ebullient emotions,
                when an unexpected letter arrived in the mail,
               as...
